Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising placing the BSR N associated with the logical channel of priority N into a medium access control protocol data unit, MAC PDU, and transmitting the MAC PDU to a network node.

3

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising determining that an amount of the data that the wireless device has to transmit on the at least one first logical channel is greater than a threshold, and wherein the transmission of the BSR N is prioritized over the transmission for the at least one first logical channel having the first priority that is higher than the priority N of the BSR N in response to determining that the amount of the data is greater than the threshold.

4

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining an amount of time that the data associated with the at least one second logical channel of priority N has been waiting in a buffer, and wherein the transmission of the BSR N is prioritized over the transmission for the at least one first logical channel having the first priority that is higher than the priority N in response to determining that the amount of time is greater than a threshold.

5

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the data associated with the at least one first logical channel comprises data from a critical Logical Channel.

6

6. A computer program comprising instructions which when executed on a computer perform the method of claim 1.

7

7. A computer program product comprising computer program, the computer program comprising instructions which when executed on a computer perform the method of claim 1.

8

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which when executed by a computer perform the method of claim 1.

10

10. The wireless device of claim 9, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to place the BSR N associated with the at least one logical channel of priority N into a medium access control protocol data unit, MAC PDU and transmit the MAC PDU to a network node.

11

11. The wireless device of claim 9, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine that an amount of the data that the wireless device has to transmit on the at least one other logical channel is greater than a threshold, and wherein the transmission of the BSR N is prioritized over the transmission for the at least one other logical channel having the priority that is higher than the priority N in response to determining that the amount of the data is greater than the threshold.

12

12. The wireless device of claim 9, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine an amount of time that the data associated with the at least one second logical channel of priority N has been waiting in a buffer, and wherein the transmission of the BSR N is prioritized over the transmission for the at least one first logical channel having the first priority that is higher than the priority N in response to determining that the amount of time is greater than a threshold.

13

13. The wireless device of claim 9, wherein the data associated with the at least one first logical channel comprises data from critical Logical Channel.
